"You shouldn't have entered the Forbidden Forest, if it weren't for the centaurs escorting you, you would most likely die inside. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info "Dumbledore listened to Zhao Mai's "processed and weakened" adventure story, his face was sad, and he shook his head slightly: "It's too dangerous there, even experienced and specially trained wizards can't go deep alone. ”

Naturally, it's my ally—Zhao Mai wanted to say that. However, he didn't have to defend himself in front of Dumbledore like a child, but took out the petrified elf: "Professor, do you know whose elf this is?"

Dumbledore lifted his glasses, examined them closely, and said, "It's strange, why is there an elf at Hogwarts, and what did he do to petrify him?"

"I found and caught him, and he confessed to attacking Madam Ellebella and then petrified himself again. I don't know how to petrify such advanced spells yet. Zhao Mai stabbed the elf stone statue: "He refused to say who instructed him, which is indeed very loyal." But every house elf has a fixed owner, which can always be found. ”

"Yes, you're right, you'll find out. Dumbledore nodded, "Thank you so much for all this, but I'll say it's too dangerous." Hidden passages on the stairs will be blocked immediately, and we will check behind all the murals as soon as possible to eliminate such hidden dangers. ”

"And what about his master?"

"Ms. Ellebella has just woken up, and she has used up the last bottle of anti-petrification ointment in the hospital. Dumbledore pointed to the petrified elf and said, "The school will have to wait a while for him to be depetrified." But we'll definitely look into who his owner is. As for you, I suggest you don't say that you've been to the Forbidden Forest. If you are penalized for this, it will affect your studies and exams later. In this matter, it would be wise that you could come directly to me. Now, let's go back to the dormitory. ”

Zhao Mai nodded, turned around and left.

The door to the office closed, and Dumbledore looked at the petrified elf, his brow furrowed deeply, "Why are you here, Bigby, what kind of instructions did Grindelwald give you?" he stood up, pushed away the planetarium that was blocking his steps, and came to the cabinet where the potions were kept. "De-petrification, de-de-petrochemical...... Well, there's another bottle here. ”

Dumbledore dipped his wand in the ointment and smeared it on the stone statue: "The stone turns into flesh and blood, and it is restored quickly!" A burst of light enveloped the goblin, freeing him from petrification.

As soon as Bigby regained his mobility, he began to wave his arms, the power of magic gathering in him, and he was ready to flee as soon as possible. "Stop, Bigby, I command you!" Dumbledore stood across from the elf and whispered, "You know who I am, don't you?"

"Sir Albus Dumbledore, a good friend of the master, and half of the master of Beagleby. The elf hurriedly bowed, then rubbed his hands and said, "Half master, what do you command?"

"What kind of mission did you come to Hogwarts?"

"The host won't let me tell anyone about ......"

"Say, I command you, and I am your master. ”

"Half a ......" the elf squatted on the ground, rubbing his hands vigorously, his eyes dodging and dodging, looking cramped and uneasy.

Dumbledore tapped the elf's skull with his wand and said solemnly, "Remember, Grindelwald said that you should obey me as if you were obeying him." ”

"Oh, yes, the master did say so!" The elf finally freed himself from the conflict, and his eyes were full of joy: "The master sent me to interfere with the tutors' studies, so that their grades will drop or they will not pass the exam. ”

"Are you going to kill a student?"

"Oh, of course not, the master would not give such an order. The elf said, "All the injuries can be healed, I was just ordered to scare them." ”

"Why do you want to?" Dumbledore couldn't understand. There may have been a problem with finding the Wizard Charm, which Grindelwald first reminded him of through his letters. Later, the two exchanged ideas for repairing and improving the spell through letters. While wizards owe Dumbledore entirely to finding the Wizarding Charm, he knows that Grindelwald has also made a huge contribution.

The arrival of the tutors is a credit for the search for wizarding charms, and from this point of view, Grindelwald has no reason to target the tutors. And his orders to the elves are only "to interfere with their studies and affect their grades", which is even more strange. What about a few cram students jumping up a few levels?

"What else did your master tell you to do?" Dumbledore asked.

"The master also said to me, let me go and get something to you after I finish my mission. The mission is not complete yet, so I can't do it yet. Bigby straightened up and said with an expectant smile on his face, "The master said that when I finish these two things, he will praise me." ”

"Where to get something?"

"There's a place called Cape Carend, and there's a nameless tombstone there, and the contents are what I'm going to take. Bigby didn't know where it was, but the host said I needed to figure it out myself and find it, otherwise it wouldn't be worth the praise. ”

"Is there a place for Cape Kahnde?" Dumbledore tapped his fingers on the table, trying to find it from his knowledge. He eventually had to admit that Grindelwald was a more sophisticated wizard and more knowledgeable. Dumbledore didn't have the slightest impression of Cape Kahnde.

"Whatever your previous order was, you can't disturb my students anymore!" Dumbledore commanded in a stern tone, "Go back and tell your master that Hogwarts is a place to learn knowledge, and whatever his plans are, stay away from here, or I will cut ties with him completely!"

"No, you can't order me to disobey my master's orders, it's not good. "I would love to be praised by my master, for it is one of the highest honors for a house-elf." Tears flowed from his big eyes, falling to the ground one by one.

"Bigbi, I'm also your master, so you must obey my orders. Dumbledore's gaze softened, and he whispered, "Moreover, I have a more serious and difficult task for you, and I will praise you as long as you complete it." ”

Bigby wiped away his tears, swallowed hard, rubbed his fingers and asked, "What is the task?"

"Whoever asks you who instructed you, or who is your master, you will identify the person who asked you as the master, and he will direct it, and can you do that?"

The elf looked at Dumbledore blankly, rolled his eyes several times, and then shook his head: "No, I can't do it, I only have one or two masters, I don't have so many masters...... I disappointed the host and I won't get a compliment......"

"It's a test, a test to protect your master and your master's secrets. Dumbledore said, "You have to do it, or Grindelwald will have a harder time outside." ”

Bigby pounded his head vigorously, his body swayed from side to side, and finally nodded: "Yes, I will try." I'm deceiving the bad guys and protecting the master! I can do it!"

"Very well, and you have to remember, try to escape, leave Hogwarts, go far away, and then go to Grindelwald and deliver my message. Remember?" Seeing Bigby nodding, Dumbledore said, "Now there's one last thing left, the hidden form!"

The wand flashed, and Bigby vanished. Dumbledore said to the air, "Go away, don't come back." (To be continued.) )
